Beans&Toast
Adult Guinea Pig
This morning I felt I had to temporarily seperate the pigs with a divider.
Yesterday Beans appeared to have came into a particularly strong season and was pestering Toast quite a bit, but I left them to it.
However, this morning, Beans was being very forceful and relentless trying to mount Toast, who seemed pretty agitated by it and there were quite a few nips and it seemed to be getting more aggressive so I felt I had to separate, for both their sakes.
I think it's maybe a combination of Beans being in quite a strong season and also since yesterday I've had eye drops to give her 3 x daily which I think is annoying her.
Was I right to temporarily seperate until Beans calms down again or should I have just left it? I felt like Toast needed a rest from it, but maybe I'm just overreacting.
Only thing is Beans is standing on her hind legs at the divider, aggressively pulling and biting at the bars to get back to Toast...
